© S.John - Fotolia.com As e-learning technologies continue to rapidly evolve, institutions worldwide are faced with the challenge of how to manage content efficiently. One proven solution is EQUELLA, a digital repository that houses all your resources in one place. Organisations from all sectors are working with EQUELLA to develop tailored digital repository systems which meet the needs of all its users. EQUELLA is a digital repository that is revolutionising the way institutions search, manage and create content online. The solution provides one system to house your teaching and learning, research, media and library content.

RADAR (Research Archive and Digital Asset Repository), provides both an open searchable archive of Brookes research, and a way to manage and share online teaching materials. Bill Hubbard (Head of the Centre for Research Communications, University of Nottingham), talks to Steve Burholt (E-Learning systems developer, Oxford Brookes University) about RADAR, Research and the Open Access movement (Audio 3.6Mb, 05:15) Dr. Catherine Hobbs (Head of Research, School of Technology, Oxford Brookes University), talks about the benefits of RADAR for the research community at Brookes (Streamed video: 02:33)
Managing content
My four year old daughter has lost Flynn Rider. Some of you are probably not sure who (or what) that is. Some of you likely don't care…after all, four year olds lose stuff all the time. But after searching through the 3 toy boxes, half a dozen shelf baskets, and under every bed, the little doll seems to have just disappeared. (Why is my dog sitting over in the corner seemingly smirking?) But let me put it into another context.
Equella Pilot Project - mylearning
Project Brief TAFE eLearning Systems (TeLS) seeks to evaluate the implementation of an institution-wide Learning Content Management System (LCMS) / Learning Object Repository (LOR) in support of content creation, refreshment, discovery, retrieval and publication. Specifically, TeLS wishes to trial the EQUELLA LCMS/LOR in this role and to this end plans to conduct a structured pilot program wherein EQUELLA is implemented in support of business requirements across a sample of representative business problems. In addition to addressing existing business problems, the pilot will collect and document high-level business requirements.
Using Digital Images in Teaching and Learning: Perspectives from Liberal Arts Institutions | Academic Commons
The following study, "Using Digital Images in Teaching and Learning," was commissioned by Wesleyan University in collaboration with the National Institute for Technology and Liberal Education (NITLE). The study focuses on the pedagogical implications of the widespread use of the digital format. However, while changes in the teaching-learning dynamic and the teacher-student relationship were at the core of the study, related issues concerning supply, support and infrastructure rapidly became part of its fabric. These topics include the quality of image resources, image functionality, management, deployment and the skills required for optimum use (digital and image "literacies"). This report is rooted in faculty experience in "going digital," as shown in four hundred survey responses and three hundred individual interviews with faculty and some staff at 33 colleges and universities: 31 liberal arts colleges together with Harvard and Yale Universities.This short case study looks at how the newly established History of Art department at University College Cork went about building a collection of images to support its teaching. Although it would have preferred to create an all-digital collection, the constraints of time, money and copyright led the department to take a hybrid approach, using a mix of formats, drawn from several different sources. This study highlights the role of the Visual Resources Officer in coordinating the resources, and the delivery of images via 'Visuallab', a website for undergraduate students, and the 'Virtual Visual Literacy Project', which delivers some of the same content to participants in the university's continuing education programme. The University College Cork (UCC) is one of four constituent universities that make up the National University of Ireland.
